Overview
Adoption Layer is an AI-powered digital adoption platform designed to intuitively guide users through web applications. It reads the live interface and provides step-by-step guidance towards achieving the task at hand.
This proactive platform does not restrict users to pre-scripted tours but adapts to individual contexts and objectives. Available as a browser extension across various SaaS and internal tools, it can also be embedded directly into an application using a script tag.
It offers features like proactive hints that alert users before they encounter difficulties, and smart escalation that shifts complex issues to human handlers, maintaining the full context for seamless support.
Adoption Layer also provides actionable insights highlighting areas where users struggle, enabling continuous improvement of interfaces. The platform is particularly useful for onboarding new users, streamlining e-commerce checkouts, and supporting customer portals.
Its unique approach of treating the interface itself as the knowledge base translates to lesser friction for users, less repetitive work for support, and efficient utilisation of existing software.
